Booker T. Washington Half Dollar Coin Hiking Medallion

Description

In 1946, commemorative coins in honor of Booker T. Washington were authorized in an effort to raise funds to purchase and maintain the educator and civil rights leader's birthplace. The fundraising effort was successful, and today the Booker T. Washington National Monument in Virginia serves as a stark reminder of how freed slaves began with nothing after emancipation.

Commemorate Washington's perseverance and fortitude when you add this hiking medallion to your collection.
